The MEs+erious Thistle.

The syndicate cf ScotclInen wko are
building The Thistle to win the Americas
cup this summer ms thus far tsen relnarl--
ably successful in Keeping the character Of
the vessel 4 secrets. Whether she is a cutter
or a centra-boar1 act: IS \ question in
which there Is great interest among yachts
men. Tie impression appears 70 he that
while she has some Of tbs features Of
cutter she has A centre board. Mr. Watson,
her designer, was IN this country last year
during the contest between the Mayhower
and Calatea. and. it IS saii, was very much
impressed with the advantages Of the centre
board. 1t is believed that he has adopted It
in the Thistle
Even the general dimensions Of the
Thistle were kept profound secret until it
became necessary 20 disclose them In plac-
ing the challenge in the hands Of the Ameri-
cas- cup committee. They are as foloNs:
Length at load water line, 81 feet: breadth,
% feet inches; depth Of hold, "A feet
inch; registered tonnage. 1908. 1t viii be
noticed that the breadth Of beam Is very
great--too great, in fact, for a boat built
on the English model-and justifies the
opinion that the designer Of the Thistle has
been influenced by what he has seen Of the
American slOop.
When the vessel was launched at Glasgow
it was thought that glimpse Of her would
be Obtained, but that proved to be a mis-
take. She was completely covered with
white canvas, and in that condition was
tOwed to Gourick to receive her fittings It
is now understood that her character will
not be revealed until she sails her first race,
which viii be May q, the occasion
being the Royal Thames Yacht Club match
Doubtless the ScotchInen are quite conf
dent Of carrying off the Americas cup. 1t
will take much better yacht to do that,
however, than the Galatea or Genesta
proved to be. Last year and the year be
fore it was quite satisfactorily demonstrated
that the American sloOp is superior to the
English cutter for speed, and unless the
Thistle approaches the American type there
is not much danger that the Americas cup
will cross the ocean this year
Gen. Paine, the owner of the Mayhower,
which won the cup last year, is pushing his
new steel sloop to completion as rapidly as
possible. She will have larger sail area,
in proportion to her size, than the Mayfower
has, and it is expected that she will be
faster vessel

only individual in Omaha with two mouths
There are many people in Omaha who have
mouth enough for two, but Otto claims the belt
as the actual possessor Of two oriflces through
which he enits vocal sounds, says the Omaha
Bee. Some time ago he was struck by falling
derrick and his throat was injured so that his
wipdpipe closed at its upper end. skillful
surgical operation placed silver tube in the
breath pipe and nc was saved from actually
dying for lacl. of air.
Subsequently the orifice to his mouth and
nostrils opened again, and now Otto can emit
the fumes of his last drink into the face of an
apprcciative but disguised companion from two
holes AZ the same time. lie can also plp,. a
mouth organ either way. 1t is extremely
difficult 10 appreciate to what extrnord-

PRAYERS FOR THE PRESIDENT.
An Intersection That Astonished the
Episcopalians at AK Ia Chapelle.

An Interjection That Astonished the
EpiscOpalians at AK Ia Chapelle.
Washington Letter to the NelC York Herald.
A Characteristic story is told at the expense of
Henry F. Merritt, whom the President nomi-
mated few days ago to be Consul at ChemnitZ,
Saxony. Mr.. Merritt has been for the past
eighteen months Consul at AK la Chapelle The
Sunday following his arrival in AK Mr. Merritt
attended religious services at a little English
chapel, where the rector. with great earnest
ness invoked divine blessings upon Queen Vic
toria Albert Edward, King William of Germany
the Crown Prince. and ''all Others in authority
Mr. Merritt, who is very patriotic American
and a staunch Cleveland man, could not under
stand why the President Of the United States
should not be included in the invocation. At the
first cOnvenint opportunity he so notified the
clergyman. The latter promised to think about
it; but when the next Sunday came around
there was no change in the programme, and the
President of the United States was not referred
to, even by implication. This was more than
the American could stand, and he accordingly
Sprang from his seat with great ceremony and
stalked haughtily out of the church When he
next met the rector that gentlemen inquired the
cause of his sudden departure from church the
previous Sunday Mr. Merritt informed him
that ne was disappointed at his refusal to pray
for the Chief Magistrate of his country, and that
he would not attend services again until this was
done After some good-natured chatting on
both sides the clergyman agreed to comply with
Mr. Merritt'S request.
The next Sunday Mr.. Merritt, with a smile of
conscious triumph advanced to a front seat and
awaited developments. When the reading of
the prayer began and the usual form was gone
through the minister hesitated for moment.
and then, looking in the direction of Mr. Mer-
rt6s pew, added solemnly, land we also re-
specially invoke the Divine blessing upon Thy
servant, the President of the United States "
The congregation was so astonished at this un-
looked-for interjection that they forgot for the
instant to follow with the response; but not 50
- n ynin no tbn cilay
with I'VE beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord -
in tone so earnest, and, withal, 50 triumphant,
that the surprised congregation realized at last
the cause of his sudden Indignation the week
before, and fell to laughing so heartily that the
clergyman was Obliged to suspend his reading
until quiet had been restored.

Public improvements in the County.
The work of draining that part of Chat
ham court, which lies Immediately south
and east of this city, with the exception of
Harmon's swamp, il about finished The
convicts are now engaged In draining that
swamp, which Is about four miles from the
city. When the work there is completed
the area drained will embrace all the lands
between the Ogeechee road on the west,
Warsaw and Vernon rivers ON the east and
the Montgomery cross road on the south.
In addition to this improvement the local
drainage at Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt and
Montgomery has received tine attention of
the county authorities, and several good
roads have been constructed and old ones
repaired.
There are three other important public
improvements which have been under CON
sideration for long time, and which ought
now TO receive attention. The first is the
extension of Lovers lane to the Skidaway
road The projected road will
be an important factor in promoting the
prosperity of the county and the growth of
the city, as it will be virtually an extension
of Anderson street It's lines have been es-
tablished and the right-of-way has been OBJ
tanned from all the interested property hold
ers excepting one.
The second, and probably the most neces-
sary of all the proposed public iInpro re-
ments, is the draining Of the Vale Royal
plantation. The locality of the plantation
is improving steadily aud rapidly. The
Central railroad and Ocean Steamship COM
pany have immense interests there the
Vale Royal Manufacturing Company has
its factories there, the city water works are
in that vicinity and the entire section, for a
mile and a half west of the Ogeechee canal,
is covered with small farms and gardens,
which arc very productive. The health of
the city, us well as of those who live or
carry on business In shat locality, requires
that it shall be drained, and that. too, at an
carly a day as possible.
Tho third improvement is tho construc-
tion OF q road through the Valc Royal plan
tation. The necessity for il has been recog-
nized for the last seventeen years. There
was such a road once, but the destruction Of
the bridge across the canal, in connection
with other things, caused it 10 DO closed.
There is now no public roadway TO the
wuter works.
The county has long needed good roads
and good drainage, and the prospect that it
will have both in the near future Is ve"v
promising Portions of the cou.ty have
them now, anc.pthcr portions will hive them
in good time. The convicts will soon COM
